Based on beach surveys conducted this summer, WDFW estimates the total razor clam population on Washington's beaches has decreased significantly from last season, which means fewer days of digging this season.

Ayres said the decline in clam populations was likely caused, at least in part, by an extended period of low salinity in surf zone ocean waters, particularly those near Long Beach and Twin Harbors.

"The total number of clams may be down this year, but we still expect good digging on most beaches," Ayres said.

Proposed razor clam digs through December are listed below, along with evening low tides and beaches:
